- We make sure to tie the liners tightly before tossing them in the washing machine to prevent any messes from spilling out.

When it comes to washing, we swear by using recommended detergent and settings, and checking our water profile for any necessary adjustments. We also follow the guidelines from Fluff Love University (yes, it's a thing!) to make certain our diapers get the TLC they need.
The Financial Benefits of Cloth Diapers
After mastering the art of washing and caring for our cloth diapers, we're excited to crunch the numbers and explore the financial benefits that come with making the switch. The initial cost of cloth diapers may seem challenging, but trust us, it's worth it in the long run.
Here are just a few of the financial perks we've experienced:

Savings of about $3,000 for two kids (hello, college fund!)
-
Cloth diaper savings can range from $500-$700, with secondhand options available at lower prices (score!)
We've done the math, and the financial comparison is clear: cloth diapers are the way to go.
Using Cloth Diapers in Various Scenarios
Switching to cloth diapers doesn't mean sacrificing convenience, and we've found ways to make them work in various scenarios, from traveling to swimming. Whether we're on-the-go or making a splash, cloth diapers can be just as convenient as disposables.
Scenario | Cloth Diapers | Disposables |
---|---|---|
Travel | Bring extra supplies, use diaper liners for easy changes | More convenient, but may not be eco-friendly |
Overnight | Use extra absorbent diapers or disposables for convenience | Convenient, but may not be cost-effective |

We've figured out ways to make cloth diapers work for us, even in situations where disposables might seem more convenient. With a little extra planning and prep, cloth diapers can be just as easy to use as disposables, and the benefits to our wallets and the environment are well worth the extra effort.
